Recent college graduates searching for jobs are finding that practical degrees, work experience and even connections are no match for sluggish hiring.

You might see things like insane brazenly partisan gerrymandering and voter purges.
You might see things like people being arrested and disappeared for the reviews that run contrary to the regime.
